A Little History of Literature pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
This “little history” takes on a very big subject: the glorious span of literature from Greek myth to graphic novels, from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Harry Potter. John Sutherland is perfectly suited to the task. He has researched, taught, and written on virtually every area of literature, and his infectious passion for books and reading has defined his own life. Now he guides young readers and the grown-ups in their lives on an entertaining journey “through the wardrobe” to a greater awareness of how literature from across the world can transport us and help us to make sense of what it means to be human.
Sutherland introduces great classics in his own irresistible way, enlivening his offerings with humor as well as learning: Beowulf, Shakespeare, Don Quixote, the Romantics, Dickens, Moby Dick, The Waste Land, Woolf, 1984, and dozens of others. He adds to these a less-expected, personal selection of authors and works, including literature usually considered well below "serious attention"—from the rude jests of Anglo-Saxon runes to The Da Vinci Code. With masterful digressions into various themes—censorship, narrative tricks, self-publishing, taste, creativity, and madness—Sutherland demonstrates the full depth and intrigue of reading. For younger readers, he offers a proper introduction to literature, promising to interest as much as instruct. For more experienced readers, he promises just the same.
John Sutherland is Lord Northcliffe Professor Emeritus of Modern English Literature, University College London. He has taught students at every level and is the author or editor of more than 20 books. His popular Lives of the Novelists: A History of Fiction in 294 Lives, published by Yale University Press, has earned widespread acclaim, including one reviewer’s praise as “a reference book that rocks.” The author lives in London.
耶魯小史係列開始讀第九本~2019/11/05更新:讀完瞭!耶魯小史係列原版一套九本讀!完!瞭!(最喜歡科學/語言/哲學這三本,排名分先後…
評分和他早年 TTC的課程基本一緻,確切的說就說“英文文學史”加點希臘神話史詩。感覺大學英國文學課用這個當課外教材不錯,淺顯優美主流。
評分讀這樣的書,多半是因為貪心,想在最短的時間瞭解最多的作品,其實能多瞭解一兩個作傢的側麵,就不錯瞭。
評分對新事物把握的很好,我還以為作者是個年輕學者,一查沒想到是個近八十歲的老爺爺~
評分Sutherland的文字十分易讀,每章篇幅有恰到好處,是本閤格的枕邊書。看罷此書不由又去淘瞭一本作者此前的類文學評論集,並依本書提及的書目在待讀單上多添瞭幾筆。
文学是生命中的重要组成部分,当一个人像鲁滨逊般被放逐流落孤岛,如果有本文学书籍相携相伴,至少能排遣孤寂,不会绝望厌生。而我们人生百年,阅历有限,大部分的知识也都是源自阅读文学作品。所以人类热爱文学。英国伦敦大学教授约翰•萨瑟兰所著的《耶鲁文学小历史》不光...
評分这是一本充满激情的指导书,带你走过文学的历史长河……萨瑟兰并不是要将高雅艺术和通俗艺术区分开来,而是要分享他阅读的乐趣。简洁的语言,非理论和评论的文风,记述了一辈子与文学相依相伴的愉悦故事。萨瑟兰给我们带来的是令人钦佩的丰富的阅读体验,慷慨的精神力量和对于...
評分作为一个出身中文系的人,阅读文学史既是专业功课,也逐渐转化成了私人趣味。纵使太阳底下无新事,历史已经成为既定的事实摆在眼前,但出自不同人笔下的文学史,仍然具有着丰富多样的视角与层次。 在读过大量专业性学术性极强的文学史教材之后,转而阅读《耶鲁文学小历史》则...
評分 評分这不仅仅是一本告诉你文学历史和提供书单的书。请勿被其厚重的装帧而吓到,这是绝对能够给你眼前一亮的书。乍看目录,每一章节似乎是分开独立的文章,实则逻辑清楚,所要表述的文字的流动很连贯。 当然,虽然标题是这样写的,其实更应该是着重于欧美文学所在的西方世界的历史,...
